Taste something local– three superb restaurants
It is our honour to provide you with unforgettable experiences in the stunning setting of Sahanlahti on the shore of Lake Saimaa – the glinting Lake Saimaa can be seen from our restaurant tables. The history of the area, the local, organic food, wine and interesting stories are particularly close to our hearts. The former sawmill owner’s house has been turned into the Koskivahti restaurant and it offers, with its stunning panorama terrace, unique local food – particularly fish from the lake, which is delivered by the restaurant’s own fisherman. Other restaurants at your service in Sahanlahti are easy going summer restaurant Rantamakasiini, built on the water, and Pajapirtti (open upon request) with its homely rustic atmosphere and open fireplace.
Home-made local food
The hostess of Sahanlahti, Jaana Kuivalainen, has been working as a strong advocate of local food in our area for well over a decade, first seeking out high-quality, small-scale producers in the area and then networking with them.
Now she has her own restaurants, the network can be put to use and local food can take pride of place in the products served by three different kitchens. We want our food to bring out the history of the area, and we have such specialities as Elsa Heporauta’s (the founder of Kalevala Jewlery) recipe for sweet buns!
